This result allows him to take the lead of overall ski cross World Cup ten points ahead of Oehling - Norberg . "This morning I was not top physically. But the more runs passed, the best it was going , said the Olympic champion to Ski Chrono. I do not focus on the overall. Today I was going for the win, not the ranking. »

On the women side, Fanny Smith won ahead of Alize Baron (FRA), who continues to impress in a breakout season that has seen her record three podiums (including her first victory last week in Åre), and a top-10 result in all eight ski cross World Cup competitions in 2014/15.

Reine Barkered, leader of the overall ranking before the run, made a big fall down on the rocks. Lucikly, he gets up with no injuries, but loose his first place. Nevertheless he stays on the overall ranking podium et will try the best to fight for the first place during the last FWT 2015 competition in Alaska.

The French rider Jordan Bricheux wasn’t that lucky. Winner of the Freeride World Qualifier run on this face last year in Andorra, he dropped into a big run, but dangerously fell down.
